The All Progressives Congress on Sunday alerted Nigerians and the international community of plans by the Peoples Democratic Party, led by Goodluck Jonathan administration, to tamper with the results of Saturday’s elections and circumvent the people’s will.

The APC which said this in a statement in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, warned that it had all the results from across the country.

It stated, ‘’The information that we have received since we issued our last statement is to the effect that the administration is holding clandestine meetings with security chiefs and others with the sole aim of altering or scuttling the results which they consider to be highly embarrassing and unpalatable, using malleable RECs (resident electoral commissioners).”

The APC warned that nothing but the authentic results held by the party agents and all other stakeholders would be acceptable to the party.

The party stated that whoever was planning to do otherwise should weigh its implication on the survival of the nation’s democracy.

But the PDP described as false and illogical, allegations by the APC that the Jonathan-led PDP administration was planning to alter the Saturday’s election results, using the military and security agents. 

 

Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, who in an interview , said all the results were currently being collated at the various INEC offices across the country and would be difficult for the process to be altered by anyone.
